Drivers sleeping habits have made me go slightly crazy lately..he went from a 4 hour stretch to not even doing that anymore! So i bought a swaddle blanket. Not the miracle blanket but the cheaper brand, kiddapotamus i think it is?

Well we used it for the 1st time last night and he slept from 9:30pm to 2:30am, ate 4 ozs, went right back to sleep and slept till 6:30am, ate 2 ounces and went back to sleep till 8:15am. it definitly seems like that 6;30 am feeding might go away soon too, so heres hoping each night gets better and better with this swaddle blanket!

Thats the blanket Logen uses and I swear by it. I didnt use it one night cause it was in the wash and he was up ever other hour. Its great!

I'm so glad Driver is sleeping better! I love swaddle blankets - Luke can't sleep well without his. He's been getting out of his velcro swaddle blanket recently and wakes himself up so we've ordered a miracle blanket. I can't wait till it gets here, but even without it Luke has been sleeping in 4-5 hour stretches at night, eating and then going back to sleep usually till Cole wakes up at 7:30. He'd probably sleep even longer but Cole likes to run up to him and scream "ITS WAKE UP TIME LUKIE!!!" when he gets up

That is GREAT!!

I'm SO jealous! Even with that swaddle blanket, we are doing 3 hours (or less)... But it is because he is still having a hard time breathing due to his reflux and it wakes him up. I can't wait until he has longer sleep stretches.

Meg---I'm back with you. We had two or three nights of longer stretches and are now back to 3 hours.

Yay! I also swear by the swaddle blanket. We swaddled DD until she was six months old
